Ingredients

• Main Drink:
• 1 can (20 oz) of lychee fruit in syrup
• 1/4 cup elderflower cordial
• 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Garnish:
• Fresh mint leaves
• Lime slices

Instructions

1. Begin by draining the lychee fruit, reserving the syrup in a bowl.
2. In a blender, combine the drained lychee fruit and 1/4 cup of the reserved syrup. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour the lychee puree into a large pitcher. Add the elderflower cordial, fresh lime juice, and sparkling water.
4. Stir the mixture gently to combine, taking care not to lose the fizz of the sparkling water.
5. Taste the drink and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or lime juice, if desired.
6. Pour the Lychee Elderflower Fizz into chilled glasses over ice.
7. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime for an extra touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For an added layer of flavor, muddle a few mint leaves in the bottom of each glass before adding the drink.
• If you prefer a non-carbonated version, substitute sparkling water with regular chilled water.
• Replace elderflower cordial with a homemade syrup made from steeping dried elderflowers in hot water and sugar.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover lychee syrup in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to one week.
• Refrigerate the drink base for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Add the sparkling water just before serving to retain its fizziness.
• For a less sweet option, dilute the lychee syrup or use fresh lychee fruit without the syrup.

Pairings and Complements

Lychee Elderflower Fizz pairs beautifully with light and refreshing snacks such as sliced fruit, cucumber sandwiches, or a vibrant salad. For dessert, try it with lychee sorbet or elderflower panna cotta to continue the floral theme of your refreshing drink.
